The Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronic Junk (aka TGIMBOEJ) has left the building! As promised in our earlier story on migratory junk boxes, robots.net has launched one especially for robot builders. There are now are a dozen or so TGIMBOEJ boxes moving around the world but ours is the only one designed by and for roboticists. The first recipients of the box will be Kris and Carly, those robot-savvy girls from Iowa who developed an award-winning iRobot Create robot painter for the 2007 Austin Maker Faire. They'll get first choice of all the interesting junk and will adding in some of their own. Who will get the box next? Maybe you. To be considered as a recipient, you need to add your name as well as a link to your blog to the TGIMBOEJ wiki box request page. Please also add a note by your name saying you're requesting the robots.net box to make it easy for us to find you. We'll be posting updates as the box reaches new recipients and you can also following it's progress at the TGIMBOEJ wiki tracking page. Our box is designated robots.net-box1. (pretty catchy name, eh?) So, you're probably wonder what useless junk, er, I mean valuable electronic and robotic components, made the final cut and got included in the box? Read on for a partial list and more photos.
